I was surprised to hear it raining last night. It quit before I got it going, but the ground was still wet so I changed my plans for the day.
To start off, I hauled some woodchips to the garden area for about an hour or so.
Moving tools
Then I rode the quad runner up to this spot where I had some tools stashed. I picked them up to move them higher on the hill where I was going to use them for some more trail work.
Moving rocks
On the way up, I stopped here to move some rocks.
A few of the rocks were big, so I had to roll them to their spots.
Peaceful day
I hadn’t planned to work on the rocks so much. I was just going to move a few of them to this dam, but as I got working on them, I decided to keep at it as it was a nice peaceful spot in the forest. For some reason, it was even more peaceful than it usually is up there. An especially quiet day with only a bird or two breaking the peace with an occasional call.
I moved a lot of rock today and lost count of how many. This is looking pretty good now, but I’ll likely add a few more rocks eventually.
The forest was looking nice in this spot where I was working.
Moving up higher
After I was done there I headed on up the hill to the place I wanted to take the tools to.
Out of gas
But on the way, my quad runner died in this spot. I suspected I was out of gas, so put it on reserve and tried to start it, but it wouldn’t start, so I tried rolling it down the hill and starting it on compression and it fired right up so I was again on my way up the hill.
I made it to the spot for the tools. I was too beat to use them, but I did take them out the trail and drop them where I’d eventually use them.
Enough work for one day
Then I sat in this spot to finish out the day as I’d already done enough work for one day.
Most of the rain clouds left the area for the day.
First photo makes it look like quite a little cavern next to your rock work. Still shivering over yesterday’s centipede. I am NOT a fan of those.

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
